	  This scheme has two major defects: a) long response times

	  inhomogeneous mechanical tensions present at intermediate stages.
	  We propose here another scheme, based on the lamellar phase of a
	  triblock copolymer RNR (R =elastomer, N = nematogenic backbone).
	  When the composite resulting from cross-linking the elastomer is
	  exposed to a pulse of light (in a suitable adsorption band) it
	  should go rapidly and homogeneously from the nematic to the
	  isotropic state. It then quickly contracts (via acoustic waves from
	  both ends). The reverse process (by cooling) is slow and
	  inhomogeneous, but the composite structure should be rather robust.

	  variations in a vertical container filled with a granular material
	  at rest. In the present paper we build up a dynamical version of
	  this model. We analyze the propagation of a pressure front in a dry
	  granular medium inside a cylinder, taking into account the solid
	  friction that exists between the grains and the cylinder walls.
	  Assuming that the granular material under pressure has a linear
	  elastic behavior, we derive a linear partial differential equation
	  for the pressure field. Using the Green function method, we
	  determine analytically the behavior of the granular medium
	  undergoing a pressure step. We find in particular that a pressure
	  front propagates at speed c, the speed of sound in the granular
	  material (within the linear elasticity framework, c is a constant).
	  Due to friction at the cylinder walls, the front amplitude decays
	  exponentially. We also show that a stopping front starts after a
	  certain time lag and propagates behind the pressure front, at a
	  speed larger than c. When reached by this second front, the grains
	  stop and do not move any more. The final pressure profile that we
	  predict when all grains have eventually stopped is similar, but not

	  patch should first grow with a radius of R(t) almost-equal-to t2/3
	  in a strong slippage regime, and then shift to a nonslip regime (R
	  almost-equal-to t) when the size R exceeds a certain critical

	  C.R. The limiting radius R(c) depends strongly on the grafting
	  density and on the contact angle, but may be typically in the
	  millimeter range. We also discuss the case of complete wetting:
	  here slippage is expected to be important only for large dynamic
	  contact angles theta(d); below a critical dynamical angle,
	  theta(c), slippages should be suppressed and the shape of the
	  spreading droplet should simply be a spherical cap. Above theta(c),
